The Gutter Guzzlers
IntroductionOur projects goal was to design and build a
contraption that could lift a 1 kg weight 1 meter in the air in roughly 10 seconds
The parts were found around EST 13 and the parts that were bought were cheap and easily found
OverviewThe first step in this design is to fill the top
bucket with about 2 L of water. When ready we simply open the valve that is connected to the bottom of the top bucket so the water will run down the gutter and fill the bucket at the end of the gutter, which will eventually lift the 1 kg weight.

ConclusionOur contraption took around 6 hours to build
and required help from all of the team, planning took even longer to get it right.
Complication – LEAKSFinally we are done with 151, good luck to
all.
